Obama to lay out go-it-alone approach in big speech (Announcement of his coup-d'etat)

President Barack Obama will lay out a strategy for getting around a divided Congress and boosting middle-class prosperity on Tuesday in a State of the Union speech that reflects some scaled-back legislative ambitions after a difficult year.

Obama will make clear in his 9 p.m. EST address that he is willing to bypass U.S. lawmakers and go it alone in some areas by announcing a series of executive actions that do not require congressional approval.

White House officials said Obama will announce new executive actions on retirement security and job training to help middle-class workers expand economic opportunity.

"In this year of action, the president will seek out as many opportunities as possible to work with Congress in a bipartisan way. But when American jobs and livelihoods depend on getting something done, he will not wait for Congress," Obama senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said in an email to supporters sketching out the themes of the speech.

With three years left in office, Obama has effectively reduced for now his ambitions for grand legislative actions.

Over the last 20 yrs I have seen this grow, as reported in the article:

(a) denied the existence of personal responsibility

(b) an amoral dogma (especially since Obama came into office)

(c) Americans have swallowed some false history

(d) communism has been scrubbed of its millions of callous murders

(e) claiming that their(the true fascist) “opponent” are the fascists

(f) “Everything must be different!” Hitler’s own campaign slogan - now Obama’s motto!

This is a VERY POWERFUL article - and one that needs to be in the face of everyone - not forgotten - but talked about daily...

I also suggest the book by Sir Robert Thompson, Defeating Communist Insurgency — I used it on Iraq from the beginning of 2003 - and was highly successful!

If you ever come across an original copy in a book swap and can buy for $20 - please notify!

I realized that later. I didn’t watch or listen. We had a freak ice snow event yesterday. I spent from 10:45 am til 5:55 pm driving 200 miles to go 30 miles. I didn’t care for more poop at that point.

I can’t look at his face or listen to his voice. I tape cardboard over the upper screen, turn the volume to mute, and read the closed caption. I skipped the whole thing last night.
